Would not recommend this daycare to anyone. Poor care given. My kids complained and would cry when I would say they had to go there because most of the teachers (the good ones are mostly gone or leaving) wouldn't do anything with them and they would just yell at them most of the time or be one their laptops or the phone. More than once from lack of supervision my boys got hurt.
